The Sage English Dictionary and Thesaurus

The best dictionaries were so huge they needed their own stands. You can still see them in libraries. But nearly everyone who has a computer uses a Web-based dictionary, such as the cleverly named Dictionary.com, or some kind of software-based reference. The English Dictionary and Thesaurus is the latter sort.

It's a free utility that maintains a huge dictionary and thesaurus locally, not online, so it's completely portable, though it can access the Internet for definitions, updates, and other needs. It will look up words in most major word processors, browsers, and e-mail clients, including Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer, and Outlook, and Mozilla's Firefox and Thunderbird.

The Sage English Dictionary and Thesaurus 4-5-1784

The Sage English Description:
TheSage downloads at 8.52MB; about average for today and fairly tidy, considering that, with more than 200,000 definitions, 50,000 usages, and 70,000 phonetic transcriptions in the dictionary and nearly 1,400,000 word associations in the thesaurus, it would definitely be in library-stand territory, if it were printed on paper. But there's really no way for a paper dictionary to do a fraction of the things TheSage does. For instance, there's an encyclopedia of historical, geographical, political, and bio medical information.

More Description:
TheSage's English Dictionary and Thesaurus is a one-click complete dictionary and multifaceted thesaurus of the English language. TheSage can look up words directly from almost any program (IE, Word, Firefox, Outlook, Thunderbird,... ) and is 100% portable. It runs locally, and does not use your Internet connection.

The Dictionary comprises: +210,000 multiple detailed definitions, +50,000 examples of usage, +70,000 phonetic transcriptions, encyclopedic information (geographical, historical, political,...), academic knowledge (medicine, biology,... ), and more. The Thesaurus encompasses synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, holonyms,... including nearly 1,400,000 relationships b/w definitions.

The essential functionality includes the following:
Tabbed interface allowing multiple definitions and searches to be readily available, quick cross-referencing (any and all displayed words are clickable, triggering a look up , standard and advanced wildcard search functionality, anagram search, online search, definition and example concordance (so-called reverse search), text-to-speech, phonetic wildcard search, history, word lists manager, customization of the appearance of TheSage, and more.
